Welcome to Day 8. We have 4 days before Christmas. It's almost the cutoff to getting packages delivered before Christmas. I hope you have completed the bulk of your shopping already. The eighth day is eight maids a-milking.
The term “a-milking” had different connotations beyond simply milking the odd cow here and there in the 15th and 16th centuries, but I'm not sure that was what they meant. Let's just leave this as the subject of 8, and maids.
Canon EOS R8
The ultimate (and only really) Canon RF full-frame compact travel full-frame camera. It packs great features and capabilities in a small form factor.
